La Dame Blanche - Passy

Jocelyne & Alain welcome you to a charming authentic traditional 19th century farmhouse, fully restored - adjoining their charming second home that they never occupy when the gîte is occupied in order to completely "privatize" the place for their guests - nestled in the peace and quiet of the rolling countryside, in the very heart of the bucolic Charolais bocage, with the famous cows as peaceful and close neighbors. Absolute tranquility nestled in a mini rural hamlet located in a "cul de sac", a stone's throw from the center of the picturesque typical village of Passy where an elegant 12th century Romanesque church stands. Magnificent rural environment, in the hollow of a vast plateau of pastures & meadows dotted with small rivers full of fish, nestled under the wooded ridges of a large wild forest massif that dominates the valley (to be explored during relaxing walks or mountain bike rides). Splendid landscaped setting 100% soothing & relaxing, offering the rare privilege of being able to observe wildlife including from the cottage (roe deer, foxes, does, etc.). Comfortable cottage mixing the sweet simplicity of a slightly "vintage" country feel with the rich traces of the original building (preservation of the stone fireplace mantel & period framework), in the exotic atmosphere of an old residence. Rooms nestled under the roofs in "cocoon cabin" mode. Sheltered terrace overflowing onto the courtyard (optional or required). Pleasant lawned garden. Beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding green countryside. Composition: Detached house on 2 levels. Wifi via Orange rechargeable Airbox box. Electric heating + wood stove. Mini "portable" washing machine. Ground floor: living room-kitchen-lounge, bathroom (shower), separate toilet. 1st floor: 2 loft bedrooms (double bed 140x190cm / 2 single bunk beds 90x190cm). Covered terrace + courtyard terrace + garden + bicycle storage + private parking. Shops including supermarket 13 km away. Train station 27 km away. Lovely authentic traditional 19th century farmhouse fully restored, quietly nestled in the rolling countryside, in the very heart of the bucolic Charollais bocage & the verdant valley of the Guye (& its poisonous river), 12 km from the charming typical village & trader of Saint-Bonnet-de-Joux (many amenities including Supermarket) & 23 km from the famous abbey city of Cluny. Total tranquility in a mini rural hamlet adjoining the picturesque little village of Passy, in the hollow of a magnificent unspoilt countryside setting of pastures & meadows nestled under the wooded ridges of a beautiful wild forest, not far from a vast area natural classified and protected in "Zone Natura 2000" for its rich ecosystem.
